Flooding in Jakarta Towards a Blue City with Improved Water Management MARK CALJOUW, PETER J.M. NAS AND PRATIWO Flooding in Jakarta Towards a blue city with improved water management Sunday, 27 January 2002, a large flood swept down on Jakarta and inundated several parts of the city.1 From the evening of 27 January to the morning of 28 January rain came streaming down, and the dike south of Jakarta broke. The pungent black water, with a hefty cargo of garbage, poured onto the main roads to Bogor, Kramat Jati and East Jakarta. In North Jakarta, in Kelurahan Pejagalan, Kecamatan Penjaringan, the flooding or banjir hit at midnight and continued until five o’clock in the morning, reaching levels as high as 20 cm. Even harder hit was Kelurahan Kapuk Muara, inundated with 70 cm of water.2 In West Jakarta the flood invaded houses and main thoroughfares. At Kelurahan Tanjung Duren Utara the waters rose 120 cm after the dike con- taining the Sekretaris and Gendong Rivers gave way, while the water at Tomang Barat Reservoir could no longer be controlled. River water spread over the housing estates and urban kampongs of West Jakarta. Daan Mogot Street and the housing in its vicinity were the first to be reached by the giant flood. Cars had to be evacuated before being overwhelmed by the deluge, and all furniture on the ground floor of two-storey houses had to be moved 1 This article is based on personal experience with floods in Jakarta, interviews with experts, and the study of historical material, newspapers, and official reports. 2 ‘Hujan lebat guyur Jakarta sejumlah permukiman tergenang’, Suara Pembaruan, 28-1-2003.

Sometimes furniture had to be perched precariously on the roofs of buildings. The housing area along the West Banjir Canal turned into a large swimming pool filled with dirty, stinking water from the water- way, as there was no let-up in the rain for half a day. The park-like villa housing estate in the vicinity of Daan Mogot Street was flooded to a depth of one metre. The people who lived on this luxurious estate had to flee their houses since the floodwaters stayed there for weeks. The flood also rav- aged Kelurahan Bambu Utara (Kecamatan Pal Merah) where more than 385 houses were standing in 15 cm of water. A number of streets in West Jakarta, such as Pesing (Kecamatan Grogol Petamburan), Kedoya Street (Kecamatan Kebon Jeruk), Kelapa Dua Street, and streets in the vicinity of Green Garden Duri Kepa Estate, suffered water levels 30 cm high. In South Jakarta the flood devoured Paku Buwono Street in Kebayoran Baru. It inundated the area to a depth of 30 cm. In East Jakarta the Cipinang River overflowed the whole of Kelurahan Cipinang Besar to 50 cm. Meanwhile, the dike at Kalibaru 21 km along the road to Bogor burst and the highway was covered with water half a metre deep. This caused a huge traffic jam. The water also flooded the kam- pongs behind the dike. Water one metre deep afflicted Serdang (Kecamatan Kemayoran) in Central Jakarta. During the whole day of Monday, 28 January, thousands of houses in Jakarta were inundated as rain continued to barrel down. On the other side of the city, at Cililitan and Kampung Melayu, the water reached two metres. Houses were flooded and all the inhabitants had to seek refuge on rooftops. At Pejaten a landslide on the banks of Ciliwung River propelled four houses into the flood, killing six people. So far no evacuation had taken place. The inhabitants of Jakarta thought that the flood had already reached its climax and would soon subside. People still went to work, and in spite of everything urban transportation continued to function. The city government took no action until Monday evening. Sutiyoso, Governor of Jakarta, believed that it was not necessary to declare the highest level of emergency.3 In East Jakarta the flood had seriously worsened. Cipinang River over- flowed and more houses were inundated. A luxury estate, Cipinang Indah, was flooded to a depth of two metres. Many of the houses were hurriedly abandoned by their inhabitants with not enough time to save their posses- sions. A consulting firm in the area lost all its computers, books, maps, and project data as the house was hit by a flash flood early on the morning of 29 January. The situation deteriorated when young people began demanding money from passers-by. These were groups of young gangsters who forced people to hand over their cash, an unusual occurrence in Jakarta. 3 ‘Banjir genangi Jakarta ribuan penduduk mengungsi’, Kompas, 29-1-2003.

Nas and Pratiwo On 30 January at four o’clock in the morning, Suratno, a soto hawker in Dewi Sartika Street, was awakened by his wife when the five kilograms of noodles he had recently bought at the market was already afloat in the water that had unexpectedly entered the ground floor of their temporary two- by-two-metre house. Suratno hurried to take his small television upstairs because the water level was rising fast. The whole family was in a state of panic trying to save its possessions from the flood. Then suddenly the elec- tricity went out and darkness prevailed everywhere.4 By now, the flood had become a serious problem, as more than three- quarters of Jakarta was under water. The city was like a giant Titan losing control when attacked by water. Traffic was at a standstill; for example, there was no movement for more than ten hours at the Kebon Jeruk Junction in West Jakarta. People had to turn off their engines and could not do anything in the middle of the traffic jam; the cars were surrounded by water like ships on the sea. Public transportation, which is normally abundant in the streets and stops everywhere, grew very scarce at the end of January and the begin- ning of February. Many inhabitants had to walk home, many of them for kilometres. In East Jakarta a group of men hijacked a minibus to take them to Pulo Gadung. The water that had first flooded only a few spots in the city, by 30 January had covered almost the whole of Jakarta. Only Menteng, Pondok Indah, and Pantai Indah Kapuk remained unaffected. More than 40,000 people were forced to flee their houses. Traffic jams occurred along Daan Mogot Street, Cengkareng and Grogol. The alternative traffic route through Semanan also became blocked. Similar traffic jams occurred at Puri Indah, Kembangan and Meruya.5 Those who had already set off for the office had to return home when they noticed that the lines of cars in the traffic jam were not moving. This was the result of the inundation of the main road to a depth of 80 cm, so that cars could no longer continue because several of them had already been caught by the water. The Cisadane River overflowed along Daan Mogot. Many vehicles were trapped on the street and could not move. An enormous traffic jam also blocked the toll road to Merak where thousands of vehicles had come to a halt for kilometres, meeting those coming from Kebon Jeruk. They were sur- rounded by floodwaters as high as 50 cm and could not budge an inch. Another traffic jam occurred in East Jakarta. The Molek River at Pondok Gede overflowed the street to a depth of one metre. Vehicles were stuck wait- ing for the water to recede. 4 ‘Kisah pilu dari daerah banjir’, Penabur, 2-1-2002. 5 ‘Banjir makin meluas’, Kompas, 30-1-2003.

At the Soekarno-Hatta Airport about 80% of flights were delayed. These were mainly domestic flights.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Since a drastic increase of mountain national park visitors, the littering problems were emerging more than ever. Many hikers, especially the amateurs, keep ignoring the park’s rules about littering. Many sanctions be it from national park itself and nature lovers community has been deployed, yet the problems still occurs until now. This research has found a gap between these solutions to mountain’s litter problem. The lack of education to prevent hikers from littering is actually, needed. Not just cleaning the existing litters. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods, to acquire data such as interview with the personas, questionnaire, and observation. The results of the study show that many hikers already know of the banning of littering in the mountain, but they didn’t know how to prevent that, ironically those littering behaviors related from the methods they use since they packed their apparels. Creative strategy is used as the framework of this comprehensive method. The author adopted a set of simulation process named 5A (Aware, Appeal, Ask, Act, Advocate). This method helped author to place each visual communication in the right time, places and ways, matching with the researches and findings. Keywords: hiking, littering, mountain, campaign, creative strategy 1.

  • (Pb) Pollution in the River Estuaries of Jakarta Bay
    The Sustainable City IX, Vol. 2 1555 Analysis of lead (Pb) pollution in the river estuaries of Jakarta Bay M. Rumanta Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia Abstract The purpose of this study is to obtain information about the level of Pb in the sediment of the estuaries surrounding Jakarta Bay and to compare them. Samples were taken from 9 estuaries by using a grab sampler at three different location points – the left, right and the middle sides of the river. Then, samples were collected in one bottle sample and received drops of concentrated HNO3. The taking of samples was repeated three times. In addition, an in situ measurement of pH and temperature of samples was taken as proponent data. The Pb concentration of the river sediment was measured using an AAS flame in the laboratory of Balai Penelitian Tanah Bogor. Data was analyzed statistically (one way ANOVA and t-test student) by using SPSS-11.5 software. The results show that Pb concentration in the sediment of the estuaries surrounding Jakarta was quite high (20–336 µg/g). The sediment of Ciliwung River in the rainy season was the highest (336 µg/g). Pb concentration of sediment in the dry season was higher than that in the rainy season, except in Ciliwung River. It was concluded that all rivers flowing into Jakarta Bay make a significant contribution to the Pb pollution in Jakarta Bay, and the one with the largest contribution was Ciliwung River. Keywords: Pb, sediment, estuaries, dry season, rainy season, AAS flame. 1 Introduction Jakarta Bay (89 km of length) is formed as a result of the extension of Karawang Cape in the eastern region and Kait Cape in the western region into the Java Sea (Rositasari [1]).

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Wageningen University & Research Publications EVALUATION OF URBAN POLDER DRAINAGE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IN JAKARTA CASE STUDY KELAPA GADING AREA By Kalmah 1), F.X. Suryadi 2) Bart Schultz 3) Abstract Kelapa Gading area is located in the plains of North Jakarta about 6 km from the coastline of Jakarta Bay. Kelapa Gading area covers 1288 ha it consists of three large compartments and next to that the Kodamar Unit separated system from Kelapa Gading excess water of the area is discharged to Sunter river and Pertukangan River. The area is regularly flooded, especially during the wet season. Kelapa Gading area is in particular facing flood problem since Jakarta __ the capital city of Indonesia __ became the primary growth machine of the nation. Among others, this has resulted in suburbanization in Jakarta’s neighbouring regions. Land subsidence, which occurs due to huge groundwater extraction, and climate change are also contributing to flooding problem due to hydrologic changes that alter the magnitude and frequency of peak flows and sea level rise. Four main objectives are the basis for this research. First is describing the existing urban drainage and flood protection systems in Kelapa Gading area and other satellite cities (JABODETABEK). Second is analysing the possible impacts of land subsidence and sea level rise on inundated area. Next are some measures that would have to be taken into consideration in order to reduce the flooded area and provide adequate urban drainage and flood protection especially when the impacts of land subsidence and sea level rise are taken into account.

  • Water Quality of Angke River: Microbiological Point of View
    82 Tjampakasari and Wahid Med J Indones Water quality of Angke River: Microbiological point of view Conny Riana Tjampakasari, Mardiastuti H Wahid Abstrak Penelitian ini merupakan bagian dari penelitian multidisiplin di Kali Angke. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kualitas air sungai ditinjau dari aspek mikrobiologik di beberapa lokasi sepanjang Kali Angke. Lokasi yang diteliti meliputi: Duri Kosambi, Pesing Poglar, Teluk Gong, Pantai Indah Kapuk dan Muara (4 titik). Pemeriksaan dilakukan berdasarkan petunjuk standar Departemen Kesehatan, Republik Indonesia dan hasilnya disimpulkan sesuai Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia. Parameter yang digunakan dalam uji mikrobiologi adalah most probable number (MPN) dari total dan fecal coliform, yang dilakukan dalam 2 langkah: uji presumtif dan uji konfirmasi. Uji lengkap dilakukan untuk mengkonfirmasi adanya E.coli dan bakteri lain dalam air. Hasil yang didapat menunjukkan bahwa mutu air Kali Angke kurang baik dan tidak dianjurkan sebagai air minum. Berdasarkan parameter mikrobiologik, kualitas air sungai ini dikategorikan sebagai kelas 2 yang artinya hanya dapat digunakan untuk rekreasi air, pembudidayaan ikan air tawar, peternakan, mengairi pertanaman dan atau peruntukkan lain yang memper syaratkan mutu air yang sama dengan kegunaan tersebut. Most probable number dari total coliform di daerah Pantai Indah Kapuk dan bagian luar daerah Muara lebih rendah dari daerah lainnya. Masyarakat yang tinggal di Pantai Indah Kapuk memiliki tingkat ekonomi yang lebih tinggi, dengan demikian dapat diasumsikan bahwa masyarakat ini memiliki tingkat pendidikan yang lebih tinggi dan memiliki kesadaran tentang kebersihan lingkungan yang lebih baik. Selanjutnya, air di daerah paling luar dari Muara memiliki kadar garam yang tinggi sehingga dapat membunuh bakteri-bakteri patogen. Akhir kata, kualitas air di sepanjang Kali Angke adalah air kelas dua yang tidak layak minum kecuali di daerah Pantai Indah Kapuk dan Muara yang layak minum sesudah dididihkan.
